You will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery and always challenge yourself to try new things.

Yesterday, the only thing we missed was King Cake. Jo was going to say no worries, however, it is King cake season (code for Mardi Gras) and according to our Uber driver, one must have King Cake. So, the Hunt for the King Cake is on.
So, off we go on our bicycles. We found one at Joe’s Café and King Cakes. Only problem; you have to by a huge cake! It will feed 16 people, no go. We did finally find a smaller one at the Piggly Wiggly.
Now a King Cake is like a cinnamon roll Danish filled with cream cheese and filling, oh ya and a baby inside! The icing has to be green, purple and yellow. Oops, yes, a baby! The custom is that the one who has the piece of cake with the baby in it, has to buy the next King Cake for the family. Funny thing neither Steve or I found it. (Wink wink)
Now the even more pleasant surprise for the day was we came across a fish market. How cool! We bought 1 lb of Crawfish; 2 lbs of shrimp and a package of Louisiana Crawfish and Shrimp & Crab boil up mix. We are going to have ourselves a Louisiana Boil up!
Now Crawfish are tiny little lobster or an oversized bug. They were alive and moving in the bag YUCK! So, we tied the fish to the back of my bike and the King Cake to the back of Steve’s bike and headed home. The boil up was a lot of fun and a lot of work to eat your supper. However, it was an experience that everyone should try….
